"The founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving. We don’t know what they’re planning. It won’t be Minecraft-related but it will probably be cool."

I found that interesting. The original creators of minecraft are leaving with all the money. 1,75 BN for Notch, ~ 0,36 BN each for Carl and Jeb (Jakob Bergstein).

and thats why this is such a stupid move. the real talent behind the game left! 2.5 billion !! 

The real talent did not left because the real talent was the community. Notch was an idiot ripping of other games and making a horriblly optimized mess that was runnin on java.
His team even started to copy community stuff (instead of just asking the community for permission) and made e.g NPCs that are not even 1/100th of the quality of the community NPCs etc etc.   Notch as nothing else than an idiot that got lucky.
